> much like telling someone "please die"

If you believed the recipient to be susceptible to the instruction and your intention really was to have them commit suicide, I'm not sure you'd get off scot free if they end up doing so. Particularly if you're delivering the instruction in a way that disguises it being just an untrusted external request, making it seem internal (through subliminal messaging?) to bypass the scrutiny that requests from a third party would normally get.

Not that this case is anywhere close in severity.
